This looks really good.

Much better than the fussy, stop/start tiny straight. Would have thought would promote much more side-by-side into it.

Please don’t tell me they’re fiddling around with turn 10 and they’re leaving that wky turn 13/14 chicane as it is?

Also, turn 9 used to be the hardest stop on the circuit and it followed a DRS zone. If they had just widened the track towards the apex it could’ve been an overtaking place. This way the braking zone loses its teeth and we gain a pair of identical constant radius corners just like turn 3,4 and the old turn 9.

This change is for bikes and won’t make the circuit work any better for F1. It may make it worse.
